mood: happy, sad, retarded?
hey yall thanks for checking out my blog as always! I am working still on adding more links but I have been at work for the AJC and going to school so I get like 5 hours of sleep and haven't had much time to be online. Just wanted to drop yall a line and let yall know that I still exist LOL


My mom is in a shelter and off the streets Thank God!!!! I have been helping her and I even have a friend who tells me that if he wins the lottery he will buy her a house which is sweet but you know how people make promises and don't keep them. I have learned a long time ago not to hold anyone to their promises.

Peace

Ok I feel guilty. I am going monday nite with friends for a drink at the bar in the Westin hotel--the really expensive one but I am only going to get one drink yet here I am living big while my mom is on the streets--well in a shelter. But I am in Job Corps and I really want to treat myself to this. I have a Motorola silvr phone which I saved up for and it takes really good nite pictures. I will show some of the Olypmic Park watershows that I took in my next post--but I really want to see the city from the top of the Sundial--at the Westin. My two friends and I are cheap LOL so we will be sparing with our budgets but here I am doing what I want to do and my mother is unable to do that. I am doing all I can for her yet I still feel guilty. I am saving $$ and am doing well at my job and in class. I deserve to treat myself don't I?

I am doing a major power point presentation for my school and of course, I chose Homelessness in America as the topic. I am nervous about speaking in front of others but since its on a topic that I am passionate about and I want this to be on people's minds. That will be on Tuesday or Wednesday--I hope Wednesday.

Got some people interested in my art at work and someone from downtown who wants to see my porfolio so I really need to update it. Andre 3000 from Outkast has a piece of my art and told me that I could put him on my Clientele List and I need to do that. He was at an art festival where I had my work at in June. I have his autograph LOL. So I am going to hop offline and paint like crazy.

I am so confused. There is this guy that I like and he knows I like him. He thinks I am too young or whatever. I like him. Errr can't get him out of my head. So I will be going to look for another job just to get myself out of a situation. Tell me how strange this is:

A couple of weeks ago, I was approached by one of my coworkers. He asked if I liked lemonade...My reply was that yeah, it tastes okay, but I prefer pink lemonade to the regular....

Everyone just stopped what they were doing and looked at me as if I crashed landed in from the roof or said that I was a vampire or something odd like that...come to find out...dude i like...that's his nickname....I wonder how it got out that I liked him since I haven't told anyone except a few friends in other states.

I seriously doubt that he will read this blog so I am being bold and posting my feelings on here :)

Last night he gave me a ride home. Most people usually have rap/r&b or rock...he played Zydeco! Sweet! I am from Louisiana and grew up listening to Zydeco. It would be played at the State Fair, festivals and such. I like him even more now!

I am not that young btw...I am 26 and not sure of his age, yeah I know, you like someone you gotta find out everything about them or so says some of my friends. I would rather just let my crush come to me in a conversation and find out things about him instead of asking around, but that is just me.

Gotta work today so I, as usual, will try to keep my cool. My friend thinks I should be aggressive and under normal circumstance I am aggressive when it comes to getting what I want, but what I want is for him to like me, but I know since he doesn't like me, then there is nothing I can do. You can't make people like you so I am not even going to embarrass my self in that way.

Just found out this week that I was invited to do an art show today--which makes up for missing out last week because of the accident. YAY! Wish me luck today!

I have been busy at work lately and with romance but I dropped the romance. He just didn't show enough interest--he never called me, ignored my calls, and only wanted to see me when HE wanted to see me. This is my thing--if you really, really like me and if I am your girl, you would call me, right? Since he didn't he just wasn't interested so I dropped him--on a good note. We still say hi to one another when we see each other but he looks sad all the time. Hey, he should have called me and made an effort to actually date me. We didn't even go on one date--well one but that was it! Yes it hurt because we both connected and I love his personality. Maybe we could be friends, but I don't think its possible. Not only this, but he dissed me one day last week--not verbally but his actions spoke louder than any volume level he could have used. I don't like to be ignored at all and I don't like it when that significant other just pretends that I am not there and walks away from me.

I am going to refocus on this blog and pour my all into making new statewide links. I know I have been slacking but I am definitely going to make a come back.
